Kennedy's First Night of Guides

Kennedy went to her first official Girl Guide Meeting tonight. They did some games and introductions last week when she was getting registered, but this was the first, "uniform-on-no-moms-and-dads" meeting. She did great, met a few friends she knew from school and came out smiling and gave me a big hug. They chose "patrols" tonight and Kennedy wanted so badly to be in the "Red Rose" Patrol - guess what? She was chosen to be in the Red Rose Patrol. She loves the little Rose badge, ever since she saw it in her Guide Handbook.

Here she is in the front yard, just before we left this evening:

Kennedy Is Now A Guide

They used to call this a "Flying Up" Ceremony when I was in Brownies; however, it is now simply called "Advancement Ceremony". Kennedy had her last night as a Brownie and moved up to Guides, which will start in the fall. I remember making pretty wings and walking over a bridge when I was a kid - now they line up and give each other "high fives". It's a different world! She was very cute and very excited about it, though. She wanted to go to the Girl Guide store to buy her Guide shirt after Brownies, even though it doesn't start until the fall and the shop was definitely closed at 8:30pm!

Here's a quick clip of Ms. Kennedy movin' on up:
